Fasting and Praying During Irregular Bleeding: A Gynecological Disease Experience

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Muftionline.co.za

Q: I’m suffering from a gynecological disease and I just got a procedure done by the doctor. With that I will get irregular bleeding and a lot of brown discharge which I assume is blood. I want to know that with this bleeding can I fast during the month of Ramadan and pray. It is said that menstrual bleeding will be irregular so I’m not sure if it’s menstrual bleeding or its due to the procedure done. This will go on for 3 to 6 months. Some days I get it some days I don’t. Please let me know what can I do?

Bismillaah

A: If the bleeding is not found during the time of haiz, it will be regarded as istihaazah. In the state of istihaazah a woman will make wudhu and perform all her Salaah. She will be treated as a woman who is paak. Hence she can fast, touch and recite the Qur’an and have relations with her husband.

And Allah Ta’ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
